| Mahi Gill Said She is Blunt and Shy Posted: 19 Aug 2011 07:59 AM PDT 
Mahi Gill, who's unleashed a raunchfest of sorts in her two new films, admits that in real life she is a very shy person. The girl from Punjab is in the news for steamy lovemaking scenes she has shot in the newly released Not A Love Story and the upcoming Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster. While for the intimate scene with Randeep Hooda in Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster, Mahi Gill got a little drunk to ease her nerves, she admits she was not at ease filming the sex scene with Deepak Dobriyal in Not A Love Story. So hot was the scene that filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma was uneasy while filming it and even apologized to Mahi after the scene was canned. Mahi says the reason for her discomfort is that she is primarily a shy person. "I am a very shy person in real life," Mahi Gill is quoted to have said in an interview. Mahi admits that she felt awkward doing the intimate scenes. "I feel awkward doing these scenes and it's not very easy because the entire crew is there. But I feel that it's like any other emotion and one has to depict it," she is quoted as saying. Not A Love Story has Mahi Gill playing a struggling actress who is caught in a deadly love triangle that ends with murder.  |
| Promo of Trishna starring Freida Pinto as an Indian girl Posted: 19 Aug 2011 07:58 AM PDT 
With that cosmopolitan look and newly-acquired accent, Freida Pinto certainly enjoys being a Hollywood star. But it's only now that we would see Freida as an Indian girl after the character Latika she played in Slumdog Millionaire. Freida is back to her roots with the film Trishna which is directed by the prolific English director Michael Winterbottom. Hollywood is abuzz with Freida's great move. Critics are saying that the movie will put her to ultimate litmus test as she is the main character Trishna. The promo of the film is gripping, and also shows Freida in various steamy scenes with her co-star Riz Ahmed. It seems the movie is not only tragic like the novel Tess of the d'Urbervilles from which it is inspired but also high on sexual content. The promo did leave us wondering why it doesn't have any dialogue by Freida. She hardly says a line in the trailer. However, what moves you while watching the trailer is the poignant song composed by the Indian music composer Amit Trivedi.  |
| Mausam songs wallpaper images pics watch online Posted: 19 Aug 2011 07:54 AM PDT 
When an actor like Pankaj Kapur dons a director's cap, the outcome is Mausam. The yet-to-release romantic film has struck a chord with the audience, and that's because of its fresh and wonderful songs. The credit goes to the maverick music director Pritam, who shuns his Bollywood tinted expertise to come up with an out of the ordinary score. Lyricist Irshad Kamil also joins the composer for this musical album. The first offering is the lively number Rabba Mein To Marr Gaya Oye which continues to air on our TV sets. We can almost feel how a juvenile Shahid Kapoor is in puppy love with the mohalla's beautiful girl Sonam Kapoor. Is there anything else a lover can do besides dying (not literally) in moments of besotted craziness? As the story is set in the heartland of Punjab, the music is soused in Punjabi flavor and this time we do not hate it as our ears relish the soothing quasi-folk music. It's dramatic! Saj Dhaj Ke starts with women singing at a girl's marriage and then suddenly Shahid Kapoor takes over, entertaining others with his dance and costume. A purely situational track composed aesthetically and shot perfectly. What bowled us over in the picturised song was Sonam Kapoor's innocent look. She was just too into the character. The two remixes of Saj Dhaj Ke are not worth mentioning.  |
| Not A Love Story Movie Review Posted: 19 Aug 2011 07:53 AM PDT 
The promos of Ram Gopal Varma's latest offering Not A Love Story warned that the movie is not for the fainthearted. I say it's not for the frail of neck. Why? For the most part of the film, the viewers will be canting and craning their neck left, right, and -- if physically possible -- downside up, just following the camera movements. No sooner than you've seen a dozen such dizzying shot compositions, the obvious thought pops up in your head: which doped out gymnast did Ramu rope in as DoP? But then, knowing well the filmmaker's oeuvre, you realize that the mind behind the DoP's freewheeling hand is verily Ramu's. Which, in fact, turns out well for Not A Love Story. Ramu approaches the film from the point of view of a thriller and not just a macabre love story, which all those who've been following the infamous 2008 murder case that inspired the film would expect. So the squeamish ladies planning to stay away from NALS for the fear of being subjected to the gorefest of a body being chopped into tiny pieces, breathe easy! The good Ramu eschews blood splattering. What he rather focuses on is the torrid relationship between the lead players, Mahi Gill and Deepak Dobriyal, their passion, crime, guilt, and punishment.  |
